playlist creation/editing on linux

(1/3) > >>

amishfury:
i find it much easier to just use my pc to edit and create playlists for rockbox

before i was using playlist creator 3 in windows but lately windows has been giving me troubles and i've had to use linux while trying to fix my windows problems

i've tried running playlist creator 3 in linux using wine and while it does run i can't access the settings to modify the extension filters or playlist formatting options

if anyone knows of any linux options that can create a rockbox compatible playlist file or a way to get pc3 running properly in wine please let me know

I use "find," though if you want to base it on some tags inside the mp3s (like all jazz songs) you will have some troubles.

But to create a playlist of all songs, a simple:

--- Code: ---find . -name *.mp3 > mp3.m3u
--- End code ---
works wonders.

that's not going to work for me...

GodEater:
Why not?

amishfury:
because that's a quick and dirty solution that appears to only work for one format at a time... the majority of the files on my player are musepack but a few are vorbis or mp3

also i do occasionally like to create a specific playlist involving a lot of planning and careful track selection/placement in said playlist instead of just dumping everything in one big playlist and shuffling through that
